Liverpool transfer round-up: 3 blows; 1 out and 2 updates

It has yet again been a busy day at Anfield with the Liverpool manager still open for more additions to his squad in the transfer window.

The manager has bought in a number of new players and has announced that this Liverpool squad is close to what he wants at the club for years to come.

The likes of Sadio Mane, Marko Grujic, and Joel Matip are expected to play a huge role in the next season but it is also understood that the manager is still looking to add some more players which has seen him linked with a number of players in the transfer window recently.

So with less than two weeks left for the new season, let’s take a look at all the stories surrounding Anfield today:

Christian-Benteke-648631

Everton to move for Benteke:

Though selling a star player to cross-town rivals is not advisable, Liverpool are reportedly happy to off-load out of favor striker Christian Benteke amid interests from Everton.

The Toffees are set to lose Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea in a big money deal and will be rivaled by Sunderland and Crystal Palace for his signature this summer.

Jonas Hector bid:

Liverpool are in desperate need of a new left-back this summer but the manager has failed in his search for a decent personnel who is ready to come to the club.

However, it is now understood that the club is ready to meet the £20m price tag that they felt was a bit too steep for the German international. It is also understood that Koln are ready to let the player go if their valuation was met but it is to be seen if Liverpool can get their hands on Hector this summer.

Lucas Leiva to stay put:

The Brazilian international is one of the longest serving players in the current Liverpool squad but has been linked with a move away from the club with Turkish outfit Galatasaray reportedly interested in his signature.

But recent reports have suggested that Jurgen Klopp is ready to let the player go this summer until further defensive personnel are added to the squad. Lucas will stay at Liverpool if Klopp does not make another midfield signing ahead of the next season.
